“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] Though I may emphasize the importance of inner reality in this book, therefore, I am in no way denying the great validity and purpose of earthly experience. [...] None of the exercises should be used to try to “escape” the connotations of your own earthly reality.

[...] Their development paralleled man’s in many respects, in that they lived simultaneously upon the earth, and shared the environment.

You are closed to the intricate, voluptuous, sensuous, social experience of the animals, or even of the plants — not being able to perceive that different kind of biological emotion and belonging, that rich, sensual identification with earth, and cut off from a biologically oriented culture that is everywhere part and parcel of both plant and animal life.

The inner senses of the tree have strong affinity with the properties of the earth itself. [...]

[...] It listens to its growth up from the earth and to the murmer of the growth of its roots beneath. [...]

[...] Minute earth tremors, even the motion of small ants about its lower trunk — these are recognized and experienced. [...]

[...] She didn’t know how she ‘got about,’ but knew that she could travel to other places on earth. [...]

You are forced to transform this creative energy into another camouflage pattern because of your earthly situation. [...]

Scientists realize that the atmosphere of the earth has a distorting effect upon their instruments. [...]

[...] Later she came to understand that a more literal — and evocative — meaning is “Earth grows itself into a tree and becomes standing-earth-with-pear-faces.”

[...] Biologically, you are physically capable of speaking any language now in use on the face of the earth. [...]

[...] Yet that experience is the image that reality takes for you now, and so in other terms earthly life is one version of reality — not reality in its entirety, but a part of it. [...]

[...] (He then implied that spirits that had left the earth were seldom responsible in the first place.) Worry itself will, however, induce (he may have said “duplicate” ) a state similar to the preliminary stages of possession. [...]

[...] Minute earth tremors, even the motion of small ants about its lower trunk, are recognized and experienced by tree consciousness. Such invisibilities as humidity, radioactivity and all electrical earthly values, are felt as quite real things by your tree and recognized as being separate from the tree itself.

[...] The inner senses of the tree have strong affinity with the properties of earth itself. [...]

[...] The tree listens to its growth up from the earth and listens also to the murmur of the growth of its roots beneath. [...]

(Pause at 9:16.) There are cycles in which consciousness forms earthly experience, and maps out historical sequences. [...]

[...] Such races left the physical earth much as they found it. [...]

[...] The stuff of your body literally falls into the earth many times, as you think it does only at the “end of your life.”

[...] Such persons then become aware of a greater consciousness reaching over those gaps, and realize that earthly experience can contain [among other things] a knowledge of existence in more than one body. [...]

(She enjoyed the exchange a great deal, she made sketches while speaking on such subjects as the many facets of the electron and its behavior; time and its variations; gravity, its changes with motion, and its attributes in the past, present, and future; the velocities of light; mathematical equations; astronomy, including perceptions by telescope of the future as well as of the past; the structure of the earth’s core; earthquakes and “black” sound/light; language, including glossolalia and her own Sumari; pyramids, coordination points, and so forth. [...]

Earth experience, even in your terms, is far more varied than you ever consciously imagine. [...]

[...] In this way and in your terms, he was beginning to recognize the familyship that exists between individuals who share your earth at any given time.

[...] The primitive is somewhere sophisticated — and, in your terms, somewhere on the face of the same earth in your general time. [...]

Sides of the earth give way.

[...] I have told you that in actuality, now, no genetic knowledge is gone from the earth. [...]

[...] The approach should not be fear of war but love of peace; not fear of poor health but concentration upon the enjoyment of good health; not fear of poverty, but concentration upon the unlimited supplies available on your earth.

[...] Because of temperature changes on the earth, and so forth. [...]

[...] If your ancestors lived in the 19th century, then think of that century as a place that exists as surely as any portion of the earth that you know. [...]

[...] I mentioned how worthwhile it would be to throughly study the continuous global healing processes that I believe constitute one of the earth’s major forces, so that we could consciously use them to “help our species lead itself into new areas of thought and feeling.” Now I enlarge upon that idea by stating that such processes should be studied amid the earth’s even larger life-and-death cycles — those making up that “flickering gentle glow” my mythical observer would see from space. [...]

[...] I’m delayed by fixing the mechanism; repairing it means I still have things to do on the earth, as does the lady who was with me in the car. [...]

You will join me as I have joined others.
No physical form or physical thought
can express my existence.
The term love, with its message
of caring for another,
is the most important of our
messages in the physical.
Seth Two is to me now what Seth was to you.
I am a step higher but not removed.
Yet, I have changed enough since “my
death” that it is difficult,
at times, to relate to your existence.
The love and the emotions you feel are
the connectives between us.
My love for you has not changed but expanded
in a way you do not comprehend.
Physical needs are for physical beings,
and I understand and know this.
Touch is important at your level.
My new or returned mind loves you more
deeply than in our earth time together,
but it is also much more
understanding of physical need.
When I said, “Be for me as I would
be for thee,” I didn’t mean to limit you.
Be the physical person you need to be,
as you are physical for a limited and
for a purposeful reason.
Enjoy physical reality between others,
for the mind endures and exists
beyond your understanding and existence.
I love you as you were
and as we will be.
Your now is for you to enjoy.
I never judge your actions, and this
I repeat with love and utmost understanding.
Be yourself and in being yourself
you will be for me as I would be for thee.
You do well and I watch you often.
Continue to love physical life
while you are physical.

[...] I’ve often thought that if each birth and each death was signalled by a flash of light, an observer in space would see an earth that was always bathed in a flickering gentle glow because of all of the activities of consciousness going on there. [...]

[...] It is as much a part of individual “A” as the landscape is part of the physical earth. Our imaginary artist could not rip the landscape out of the earth, or bring it to his studio. [...]

[...] Each consciousness that takes a part in the physical universe dreamed of such a physical existence, in your terms, before the earth was formed. [...]

[...] The book follows the idea that an objectified God made the universe (and the earth) in a perfect condition, and that instead of evolving toward more complicated forms, it’s running down; that decay and catastrophe are break-downs of previous better conditions, but that even these will finally be removed by the Creator after they have served their own special purposes. [...]

[...] It goes without saying that an obsession with earthly concerns also acts in the same manner. [...]

[...] In this state such an individual will also be obsessed with earthly concerns, and wander perhaps bewildered throughout his own home or surroundings. [...]

Now oils themselves suggest the earth. [...]

[...] Jane said she had visions of brown earth and clumps of grass while she gave the data. [...]
